pH adjustment would be of advantage in improving the water holding capacity of muscle proteins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the addition of fish sarcoplasmic protein (SP) solution, which was adjusted to pH 3.0 or 12.0, neutralized to pH 7.0, and lyophilized to obtain the acid- and alkaline-treated SP samples, on the functional properties of the chicken myofibrillar protein induced by microbial transglutaminase (MTG). The solubility of alkaline-treated SP was higher than that of the acid counterpart; however, those values of the two pH-treated samples were lower than that of normal SP (p<0.05). All SP solutions were mixed with myofibrillar proteins (MP) extracted from chicken breast, and incubated with MTG. The shear stresses of MP with acid- and alkaline-treated SP were higher than that of normal SP. The thermal stability of MP mixture reduced upon adding SP, regardless of the pH treatment. The breaking force of MP gels with acid-treated SP increased more than those of alkaline-treated SP, while normal SP showed the highest value. The MP gel lightness increased, but cooking loss reduced, with the addition of SP. Smooth microstructure of the gel surface was observed. These results indicated that adjusting the pH of SP improved the water holding capacity of chicken myofibrillar proteins induced by MTG.

FK506, a widely used immunosuppressant, is a 23-membered polyketide macrolide that is produced by several Streptomyces species. FK506 high-yielding strain Streptomyces sp. RM7011 was developed from the discovered Streptomyces sp. KCCM 11116P by random mutagenesis in our previous study. The results of transcript expression analysis showed that the transcription levels of tcsA, B, C, and D were increased in Streptomyces sp. RM7011 by 2.1-, 3.1-, 3.3-, and 4.1-fold, respectively, compared with Streptomyces sp. KCCM 11116P. The overexpression of tcsABCD g enes in Streptomyces sp. RM7011 gave rise to approximately 2.5-fold (238.1 μg/ml) increase in the level of FK506 production compared with that of Streptomyces sp. RM7011. When vinyl pentanoate was added into the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. RM7011, the level of FK506 production was approximately 2.2-fold (207.7 μg/ml) higher than that of the unsupplemented fermentation. Furthermore, supplementing the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. RM7011 expressing tcsABCD genes with vinyl pentanoate resulted in an additional 1.7-fold improvement in the FK506 titer (498.1 μg/ml) compared with that observed under non-supplemented condition. Overall, the level of FK506 production was increased approximately 5.2-fold by engineering the supply of allylmalonyl-CoA in the high-yielding strain Streptomyces sp. RM7011, using a combination of overexpressing tcsABCD genes and adding vinyl pentanoate, as compared with Streptomyces sp. RM7011 (95.3 μg/ml). Moreover, among the three precursors analyzed, pentanoate was the most effective precursor, supporting the highest titer of FK506 in the FK506 high-yielding strain Streptomyces sp. RM7011.

To investigate the molecular scavenging capabilities of the larvae of Hermetia illucens, two serine proteases (SPs) were cloned and characterized. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic tree analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of Hi-SP1 and Hi-SP2 were suggested that Hi-SP1 may be a chymotrypsin- and Hi-SP2 may be a trypsin-like protease. Hi-SP1 and Hi-SP2 3-D homology models revealed that a catalytic triad, three disulfide bonds, and a substrate-binding pocket were highly conserved, as would be expected of a SP. E. coli expressed Hi-SP1 and Hi-SP2 showed chymotrypsin or trypsin activities, respectively. Hi-SP2 mRNAs were consistently expressed during larval development. In contrast, the expression of Hi-SP1 mRNA fluctuated between feeding and molting stages and disappeared at the pupal stages. These expression pattern differences suggest that Hi-SP1 may be a larval specific chymotrypsin-like protease involved with food digestion, while Hi-SP2 may be a trypsin-like protease with diverse functions at different stages.

Industrial development has increase consumption of crude oil and environmental pollution. A large number of microbial lipolytic enzymes have been identified and characterized to date. To development for a new lipase with catalytic activity in degradation of crude oil as a microbial enzyme, Acinetobactor sp. B2 was isolated from soil samples that were contaminated with oil in Daejon area. Acinetobactor sp. B2 showed high resistance up to 10 mg/mL unit to heavy metals such as Ba, Li, Al, Cr, Pb and Mn. Optimal growth condition of Acinetobactor sp. B2 was confirmed $30^{\circ}C$. Lipase was purified from the supernatant by Acinetobactor sp. B2. Its molecular mass was determined to the 60 kDa and the optimal activity was shown at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 10. The activation energies for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl palmitate were determined to be 2.7 kcal/mol in the temperature range 4 to $37^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was unstable at temperatures higher than $60^{\circ}C$. The Michaelis constant $(K_{m})\;and\;V_{max}$ for p-nitrophenyl palmitate were $21.8{\mu}M\;and\;270.3{\mu}M\;min^{-1}mg\;of\;protein^{-1}$, respectively. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by $Cd{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;EDTA$, 2-Mercaptoethalol. From these results, we suggested that lipase purified from Acinetobactor sp. B2 should be able to be used as a new enzyme for degradation of crude oil, one of the environmental contaminants.

The high concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater incorporated with the ability to use carbon dioxide as the carbon source make the microalgae become more attractive in wastewater treatment process. This study evaluates the optimal conditions for the digestion of settelable solids from the recirculating aquaculture system to produce the biomass of the green microalga Scenedesmus sp. After solids separation, aerobic digestion of settleable solids under disperse condition produced nitrate as the final product of consequently ammonification and nitrification processes. With the optimal digestion procedure, nitrate concentration during aerobic digestion in 2000 mL vessel increased from $9.63{\pm}0.65mg\;N/L$ to $58.66{\pm}0.06mg\;N/L$ in 10 days. Thereafter, cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. was performed in 1000 mL Duran bottle with air bubbling. The highest Scenedesmus sp. specific growth rate of $0.321{\pm}0.01/d$ was obtained in treatment using liquid fraction after aerobic digestion as the whole culture medium for Scenedesmus sp. cultivation. With this study, digestion of $8,800{\pm}128.12mg\;dry\;weight/L$ of settleable solids from fish pond finally produced $1,235{\pm}21mg\;dry\;weight/L$ of Scenedesmus sp. biomass.

본 연구에서는 2014년 제주도에 위치한 양식장에서 해수로 사육 중인 무지개송어에서 만성질병으로 인해 약 10%의 누적 폐사가 발생하였다. 병어는 복부가 팽만되어 있었고 위가 심하게 팽창되어 있었다. 질병 검사 결과, 기생충, 세균, 바이러스는 검출되지 않았으나 팽창된 위에서 다수의 Candida sp.가 분리되었다. Candida sp.를 사용하여 감염 실험을 실시한 결과, 대부분 개체에서 폐사가 발생하지 않았고 위 팽창 증상이 관찰되지 않아 Candida sp.는 본 질병의 원인 병원체가 아닌 것으로 사료되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 처음으로 해수 사육 무지개송어에서 위팽창증후군이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.

서귀포 연안역의 해황과 식물성 플랑크톤 출현 상황을 구명할 목적으로 1979년 및 1982년의 하계부터 추계에 걸쳐 실시된 해양조사 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 서귀포 연안쪽에는 육수의 유입에 의하여 고유의 연안수가 형성되지만 이것은 주로 하계에 발달하고 11월 이후는 거의 소멸하거나 그 세력이 약화된다. 그러나 이 연안수는 극히 표층만을 덮고 있을뿐, 중${\cdot}$저층에는 외해수가 연안가까이까지 접근하고 있다. 따라서 좁은 해역에서도 연안수와 외해수가 동시에 출현하고 있다. 2. 조사기간중 표층 영양염 농도의 평균값은 규산염 $3.72{\sim}16.34{\mu}g-at/l$, 질산염 $1.92{\sim}5.53{\mu}g-at/l$, 인산염 $0.34{\sim}0.90{\mu}g-at/l$로 해역별 차는 있지만 대체로 연안쪽이 외해쪽보다 낮은 경우가 많다. 3. 서귀포 연안역의 영양염중 그 농도가 가장 낮은 인산염은 진해만과는 거의 비슷한 값이나 서귀포 남방 10mile 부근의 외해수 보다는 높다. 4. 조사기간중 영양염의 시기별 변화는 대체로 10월에 가장 낮은 값이 나타났고 11월에 증가했다가 12월에 다시 약간 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 5. 식물성 플랑크톤군집으로는 규조류가 48종 1변종 2품종, 쌍편모조류가 29종 3변종 1품종, Chroococcus, Trichoceratium이 각 1종 출현하였다. 6. 월별 우점종은 8월에는 Rhizosolenia sp.와 Ceratium sp., 9월에는 Chaetoceros sp.와 Ceratium sp. 및 Peridinium sp., 10월에는 Astrionella sp.와 Peridinium sp. 11월에는 Astrionella sp.와 Navicula sp. 및 Chaetoceros sp. 등의 연안내만성종이다. 이들중 8월의 Rihzosolenia alata f. gracillima와 11월의 Astrionella gracillima는 특히 우세하였다.

게 껍질 속에 함유된 chitin으로 부터 높은 항균력을 나타내는 chitosan의 제조 방법과 특성을 구명하였으며, 이 chitosan을 이용하여 식품의 변질에 관련된 미생물을 중심으로 항균력을 조사하여 천연 식품 보존료로 이용 가능성을 검토하였다. 1. 상법에 따라 조제한 분자량 2,800,000의 고분자 chitosan은 2,000ppm의 농도로 대장균의 증식을 억제시킬 수 있는 등, 항균력을 보유하고 있기는 하였으나 미약하였다. 2. Deacetylation 처리 시 $50\%$ 수산화나트륨 용액에서 8시간 boiling시켜 얻은 분자량 35,000의 저분자 chitosan은 75ppm으로 대장균의 중식을 억제시킬 수 있어서 고분자 chitosan에 비해 20배 가량 항균력이 증대되었다. 3. 세균에 대한 chitosan의 항균력에 있어서 Bacillus sp. 나 구균류 등의 Gram 양성균은 50ppm 첨가로 균의 증식이 억제되었으나, Gram 음성균에 대해서는 균종에 따라 차이가 커 Pseudomonas sp. 와 Vibrio sp. 는 100ppm으로, Salmonella는 2,000ppm으로 증식을 억제시킬 수 있었다. 4. 진균류에 있어서 Saccharomyces sp.는 100ppm으로 억제되었으나, Hansenula sp.는 5,000ppm에서도 증식이 일어나 효모류는 균종간에 차이가 켰으며, 곰팡이류에 대해서는 별 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 숙성시킨 물김치에 chitosan을 첨가하여 저장수명을 연장시킬 수 있었는데, chitosan $0.2\%$ 첨가후 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장함으로서 무첨가구에 비해 10일 가량 품질을 안정하게 유지시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 이 chitosan은 천연 식품 보존료로 이용 가능하다고 하겠다.

2012년 2월 남태평양 미크로네시아 축(Chuuk)에서 채집한 두 종의 해양해면 Cinachyrella sp.와 Plakortis sp.의 공생세균의 군집구조를 PCR-DGGE 방법을 사용하여 조사하였다. Cinachyrella sp.와 Plakortis sp. 해면의 total genomic DNA에서 16S rRNA gene-V3 부분을 증폭하여 DGGE를 수행하였으며, 두 종의 해면에서 서로 다른 밴드 패턴이 나타났다. DGGE밴드로부터 16S rRNA gene의 부분 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 알려진 균주의 염기서열들과 87-100%의 유사도를 나타내었다. Cinachyrella sp.의 공생세균 군집구조는 Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, 그리고 Proteobacteria (Alpha-, Gamma-, Delta-), 6강으로 구성되었다. Plakortis sp.의 공생세균 군집구조는 Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Spirochaetes 그리고 Proteobacteria (Alpha-, Gamma-, Delta-), 7강으로 구성되었다. 두 종의 해면에서 Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi와 Proteobacteria가 공통적으로 존재하였으나 주요 세균군집은 서로 다른 것으로 나타났다. 즉 Cinachyrella sp.의 경우 Proteobacteria가, Plakortis sp.의 경우, Chloroflexi가 주요 세균 군집이었다. 동일지역에서 채집한 서로 다른 두 종의 해면은 각각 다른 공생세균 군집구조를 나타내어 해면 종에 따른 숙주 특이적 분포를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.
